Qin Zhibo got the address from Dr. Agasa yesterday, and he needs to go and investigate it personally. After all, he has to give face to the main task.

At this time, Toru Amuro's role as a home guard was highlighted.

Toru Amuro looked at Qin Zhibo's back as he left. Although he really wanted to follow him, he temporarily suppressed his inner restlessness.

After all, he is a double agent sent by the organization's boss. It is better to stabilize him first and gain his trust.

And if he is a double agent, Toru Amuro is not sure whether Qin Zhibo knows his identity.

If that is the case, you need to be more cautious and not give the other party any chance to find fault with you.

……

Just one day later, the weather in Tokyo turned sunny and windy.

Yesterday, when I was driving a convertible, I could still feel the cold and biting wind, but today I can feel the warm breeze.

Qin Zhibo drove his car to the address given by Dr. Agasa, or the artificial intelligence - Noah's Ark.

9-24 Beika-cho, this is a computer room, also known as an Internet cafe.

Qin Zhibo was not very surprised to learn that the final destination was here.

Nowadays, people do not have a high rate of computer ownership, and most people do not have computers at home.

As for Beika Town, there were no surprises.

After all, Beika Town is full of talented people.

After entering the Internet cafe, Qin Zhibo first looked around. There were not many people in the computer room during the day.

"Good morning sir."

Behind the counter stood a reserved young man with bangs covering his eyebrows. He had an apron tied neatly around his thin body. His thin face made his cheekbones look prominent, as if he was even malnourished.

"Good morning, I'm going to run the machine for an hour..."

Qin Zhibo did not choose to get straight to the point, but pretended to be a normal customer to let the young network administrator relax his vigilance.

While the young man was looking for money in the drawer after receiving the 10,000 yuan bill, Qin Zhibo suddenly asked in a very casual tone, "Young man, is there anyone named 'Lucas' here?"

The network administrator was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Zhibo blankly, and shook his head.

"never heard of that……"

Just when Qin Zhibo thought he could only wait here and wait for "Lucas" to speak on the Internet, a voice came from the employee rest area behind him.

A plump employee came out and said, "Isn't Lucas the customer who often comes here to play computer games?"

"Did he come to surf the Internet last night? And do you know him?" Seeing hope, Qin Zhibo hurriedly asked.

The fat clerk recalled and nodded, "Indeed, I came here to surf the Internet..."

"That guy's nickname is 'Cup Lucas'. He's a regular at the nearby game center. It's said he got that name because he's so good at playing the arcade games..."

Lucas...

"This is Mihua. Why is he called 'Beihu Lucas'?" Qin Zhibo asked.

The fat clerk picked up the dishcloth on the table and answered, "Because Beihua 9-chome is quite remote, after crossing the Beido Bridge in front, you will reach Beido Town."

"The game center that person often goes to is just across the bridge. You can see it just by looking at it..."

"Thank you."

Qin Zhibo collected the change on the counter, waved his hand, and turned away.

The fat clerk looked at Qin Zhibo's decisive back and felt a little puzzled.

"That guy looks familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere... What is he doing here?"

"do not know……"

The young clerk stared at Qin Zhibo's back and shook his head with a dull expression.

Chapter 635: Do you want to learn?

Qin Zhibo followed the fat clerk's instructions and drove the convertible across the Beihu Bridge. Sure enough, he found a game center not far from the bridge.

On the orange and yellow neon plaque are the words "GAME ON GAME".

There are two claw machines in front of the game center, attracting passers-by to try their luck. Who knows, maybe they will get the prize this time?

Of course, Qin Zhibo has never been interested in this kind of luck game, and a luck value of 35 doesn't interest him at all.

When you walk to the door of the game center, the sensor senses someone is about to come in and the two glass doors will automatically open.

There are many more people in the game center than in the computer room just now. After all, the game carriers of this era are mainly large-scale game consoles, such as arcade machines.

And even in later generations, the proportion of computer games in Japan was still lower than that of game consoles.

The entire game center is divided into three areas: the claw machine area, the photo booth area, and the gashapon machine area. The innermost area is the game hall which mainly features arcade games.

It was the same routine as in the computer room just now. Qin Zhibo first went to the counter to buy game coins, and suddenly asked a question while the employee was counting the coins.

"You're asking about 'Cup Household Lucas', he's indeed a frequent visitor here..."

"But I haven't seen him for a while. I guess he's been secretly practicing some powerful moves somewhere."

Qin Zhibo was a little confused, "Practicing a big move?"

"correct."

When the clerk mentioned this, he showed some excitement. "Lucas Cup and Caesar Rice Flower will be having a game showdown here this afternoon!"

"Although 'Cup House Lucas' never won in the previous duels, he's the best at arcade games in our entire group. He had never even lost before he met 'Rice Flower Caesar'."

"If possible, I still hope 'Beihu Lucas' wins. After all, this is the Beihu gaming center. It feels weird to let a Mihua man dominate the game..."

"What do you think, Rice Flower Patra?"

The clerk looked at a clerk next to him who was putting the coins collected from the game machine into the cabinet, and asked in a joking tone.

"um, I……"

"Weren't you defeated by 'Rice Krispy Caesar'? Don't you want to take back this honor?"

"..."

The clerk had a pale face, a thin build, wavy hair and thin lips, and looked like a coward who was easy to bully.

However, the name on this person's head does not start with "米花", but Dejima Hitoshi, 22 years old.

Dejima was stunned for a few seconds, then turned his gaze back to the white coins and shook his head.

"These things happened a long time ago. I would have forgotten them if you hadn't mentioned them..."

Hua Hua Hua——

The crisp sound of coins pouring into the tube.

The conversation between the two made Qin Zhibo thoughtful, and he always felt that there was some inside story.

However, this time, Qin Zhibo's main investigation target is "Cup Household Lucas".

Since "Lucas" won't be here until the afternoon, let's wait while playing games.

It just so happened that Qin Zhibo was also a little craving for games.

Playing games is human nature.

Qin Zhibo has been living a "pure and simple" life for a while now, with his only two entertainment tools being watching TV and playing Snake on his mobile phone.

But in fact, Japanese gaming culture was still very popular during this era, and was even exported abroad as cultural output.

After developing the space on the third floor of the office, Qin Zhibo planned to secretly place a game console in it so that he could play with it when he had nothing to do at night.

Play the game yourself while the stand-in learns.

Just thinking about that scene makes me happy.

……

After exchanging the game coins, Qin Zhibo first walked around the game hall and looked at the types of game machines.

There are racing machines, mahjong machines, shooting machines, and a small area with pachinko machines in the corner.

Although Qin Zhibo had never seen a pachinko machine in person before, he still had an impression of it.

In a gambling anime, the exaggeratedly huge pachinko machine is like a money-eating beast.

Although pachinko is essentially gambling, these cunning Japanese have ways to circumvent the law and make it look "legal."

This method is that the marbles won in pachinko cannot be directly exchanged for money, but are exchanged for a kind of game medals.

In fact, the material of this kind of game medals is gold, which is equivalent to giving money.

However, some regular game centers do not provide this service, and the marbles you knock down can only be exchanged for game coins.

Therefore, almost no one is interested in this kind of pachinko, just like the pachinko here, the seats in front of the machines are all empty.

However, this game center does not rely mainly on pachinko, but arcade fighting game machines.

There are many types of consoles in this gaming category, but the most popular one is a console called "Super Warrior Spirit".

Qin Zhibo stood behind and watched others play. Compared with traditional joystick + button arcade games, this game is closer to a somatosensory game.

Players need to wear a special helmet and have their hands and feet tied as if they were on a torture chair before they can start the game.

The game content is two-player battle, which can be PVP or PVE.

During the battle, the characters in the game will correspond to the hand and foot movements of the real-life characters. The player swings a punch and the character swings a punch.

Moreover, as long as the character controlled by the player is attacked, the equipment on the corresponding part of the body will vibrate to simulate the feeling of being hit.

Although it cannot be compared with the epoch-making game console "Cocoon", this game that allows players to almost experience the thrill of adrenaline-rushing battles still attracts many players to line up.

And once this game enters PVP battle mode, the picture will be automatically projected onto the big screen in the game center so that other players can see it, and waiting in line will not be boring.

Qin Zhibo observed from the side for a while, and was eager to try it out, so he lined up.

When it was Qin Zhibo's turn, someone came up to play at the game console opposite and sent an online challenge to Qin Zhibo.

"Kishimoto, that old man seems to be the first player. Isn't it too much of an insult to the old man for you to PK with him?"

"Hey, what's the big deal? Just let him know that this game isn't for someone his age."

Humph, it turns out to be a little punk...

Two guys dressed like little punks were making trouble on the opposite side, but Qin Zhibo just glanced back and didn't pay any attention. Instead, he first adapted to the strength and swing range of the game console's robotic arm during the selection stage.

There are two rows of characters to choose from in the game, with different body shapes, both male and female, and each with their own character name.

Julius Caesar, Lucas, Patra...

So that's how those middle school nicknames came about...

Qin Zhibo had noticed from his previous observations that the data settings of the various game characters were different.

For example, men have higher strength and more health, while women are more agile and have faster evasive movements and attacks.

UI.

Those with squinty eyes are monsters.

Adhering to these two principles, Qin Zhibo decisively chose the only squinting-eyed female character in the lower right corner and pressed the OK button.

Seeing the character Qin Zhibo chose, the two idiots at the game console opposite laughed again.

"Hehe, you're really a newbie, you picked the worst character."

"Kill him quickly, and then let me take over."

The game enters the battle interface, and the characters of both sides appear on a barren land.

The other players shifted their gazes to watch the battle.

GAME START!

With the sound of a deafening gong, the battle was officially announced to begin.

The little punk quickly controlled his strong man and walked towards the weak woman with squinty eyes opposite him.

Facing the aggressive enemy, the squinting woman still squinted her eyes, with her hands hanging naturally, without making any defensive movements, and just facing the enemy with a smile.
